How To Make The Game Of Bingo Work For Almost Every Subject In Your Classroom
Bingo is a wonderful teaching tool to have at your fingertips no matter what you are teaching. You can even make it up as you go along! The basic premise of Bingo is simple: players start with a grid filled with answers and they cover up spaces as the corresponding item is called from the Bingo "caller." Winners make a complete line going vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Or, you can play "Black Out" which means the winner is the first person who covers all of the spots on the card.
Preparation
There are a few ways you can prepare for playing Bingo in your classroom.
- Prepare all of the Bingo boards ahead of time, making sure that all of the boards are configured differently from each other.
- For older students, you can hand over some of the preparation to them. Prepare one Bingo board with all of the options filled in. Also, keep a copy of a blank board. Make copies of each page, one per student. Give the children time to cut apart the pieces and paste them wherever they want on the blank boards.
- The most teacher-friendly way to do Bingo is give each child a blank piece of paper and have them fold it into sixteenths. Then they get to write the terms into their bingo sheet from your list (on the chalkboard or overhead). Everyone has their own unique Bingo board.
You can play Bingo with virtually any subject.
